Church Family, Thank you so much for your love, support, and hospitality this last year. It has been a busy year with lots of changes for both the church and myself. I would just like to express my gratitude to you for bringing me into your family as if I’d always been a part of it! I have loved working with you all, but especially the youth group. Each and every student that I have come into contact with has been a joy to serve, and I will greatly miss you all. We had some awesome activities, but most of all we grew as children of God and became friends through it. I love you Sonshine Youth, and can’t wait to see what the Lord does in each of your lives! The Lord was faithful to bring me here at the right time, and I know He will be faithful in providing you with the right person after I have left. I will be praying continually for Sonshine and look forward to seeing you all again very soon. – Gratefully, Elijah.
